Property Overview
This two-storey home on a generous 3,983 sqft lot in Chalmers presents a classic Winnipeg character property with practical updates. Built in 1910, its key appeal lies in the combination of a renovated basement, above-average living space for the street, and a land size that ranks in the top quarter of the neighbourhood. The assessed value sits comfortably above the Winnipeg average, suggesting a solid foundation. Its charm is more functional than ornate, suited for a buyer who values space and established communities over modern finishes. This would be an ideal fit for a first-time homeowner looking for room to grow, or a practical investor seeking a character home with one major update already completed. A thoughtful perspective is that while the house itself is older, the large lot and good relative rankings offer a balance of vintage charm and future potential not always found in the core.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does having a "renovated basement" typically mean for a home of this era?
It usually indicates foundational upgrades like moisture management, improved insulation, and modern electrical work, converting a previously utilitarian space into livable square footage. It’s a significant plus, addressing a common concern with century-old homes.
How should I interpret the "rankings" provided for lot size, year built, and value?
These rankings compare this property to others on the same street, in Chalmers, and across Winnipeg. For example, ranking in the top 25% in Winnipeg for lot size means you're getting more land than 75% of properties city-wide, a notable asset.
The assessed value seems low compared to likely market price. Why is that?
Manitoba property assessments are not intended to reflect current market value. They are used for municipal tax purposes and are typically lower. Market value is determined by recent sales of comparable homes, buyer demand, and the property's condition.
What is the significance of the "People also viewed" listings?
These listings provide context. They show you're likely comparing this home to other character houses in Chalmers, often of similar age. Noting the assessed values and years built of these alternatives can help gauge the neighbourhood's profile and this property's standing within it.
Are there any obvious concerns with a house built in 1910?
Prospective buyers should proactively investigate the condition of major original systems. This includes the roof, foundation, plumbing, and wiring, which may have been updated only in part. The renovated basement is a positive sign, but a thorough inspection is always recommended for a home of this age.
